What's JMI's reputation in the tech growth equity space? Would you consider them top tier / in line with firms like Spectrum, GA, Insight, Summit, etc?
While they're based in Baltimore and it seems like they've been pretty disciplined in fund size, they have made really great investments over the years
Also, anyone have any insight on work life balance and # hours per week?

It's fairly similar to Spectrum from the list you have there. GA, Insight, Summit are larger funds with increasing buyout. JMI still a good fund, there's plenty of posts on here that 'rank' growth equity funds
JMI is just different than say TA but I would say they are one of the all time great growth equity investors
JMI is a top-tier fund and from a reputation standpoint they are absolutely as well-regarded as all the names you listed. However, they typically write smaller checks than GA, Insight, Summit, or TA. More in line with Spectrum on check size.
Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge of work-life balance there. I'd imagine similar to most growth equity - 50-60 hours per week normally, 70-80+ hours when pushing through a live deal.
What's their Analyst interview process like?
bump on this question^ FT analyst interviews are starting soon I believe. I know the first one is a 30 min behavioral, but idk much beyond that.
